Gerald Nash: .... How does he account for this? From reading the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and previous examinations of the issue, I understand monthly reports are available to the Garda Síochána on terminations per district.

Public Accounts Committee: Garda Síochána - Review of Allowances (1 Nov 2012)

Gerald Nash: Given that the public service has evolved and the Garda has responded to the change in a positive way, there is a strong argument for this allowance to be absorbed into core pay. Instead of calling it an allowance, its nature as pay should be reflected, given people's responsibilities.
